"In 1695, London got its first museum on Cheyne Walk, when James Salter began to display curiosities in cabinets around his barber's shop. His collection included a giant's tooth, a necklace made of Job's tears and a sandal that once belonged to Pontius Pilate's wife!"

Connecting Battersea and Chelsea, you can look out from Battersea Bridge towards desirable Chelsea Embankment.
